A teacher of computer science and robotics at a school in Maikuduk came up with a kyz-kuu1 for robots.
Why there is sumo for robots, but nothing from the Kazakh national robotics games is mastered yet? This is what Dulat Akyltaev from school №34 thought, and began to work over tenge alu2 and kyz-kuu for smart cars.
It took 9 months to implement the idea. The author wanted to arrange the mini-premiere in his native Oktyabrsky district, but when the patriotic innovation was found out in the city hotel of education, both competitions were included in the selection program for "RoboLand-2020" in Karaganda.
In tenge alu, the robot of the participant goes to the start with his "hand" raised, and then lowers the manipulator and collects the items laid out in a strictly defined order. Just as the rider of this type of baiga, who on a full race has to pick up small bags of coins from the ground. The time to complete the task in the Robo-Tenge alu is also limited, and the accuracy of the manipulations is assessed.
The path of chasing two robots in another new category is not strictly straight, which complicates the task and corresponds to tradition, because in kyz-kuu the rider-girl directs the horse to and fro to prevent the guy to catch up and kiss her. Besides, before the start of the fight the draw is held, which of the participants is to control the robot "kyz", and who to play for the "dzhigit". As for the kamcha3 hit, put the hapless young man in a real kuz-kuu, the author of the version of the game for robots so far decided to limit to the fact that the winner just pushes the loser off the track. However, both projects have great prospects for fantasy and improvement, so it is possible that by the time "RoboLand-2020" and other international festivals, unique competitions will gain even more national flavor.
Dulat Akyltaev is now also developing an idea for a kokpar4 project for robots.

Translator’s note:
Kyz-kuu 1- national Kazakh horseracing game
Tenge- alu 2 – national Kazakh game of picking tenge from the ground on a horse
Kamcha 3 – Kazakh lash for horses
Kokpar 4 – Kazakh national game
This is the second year in a row that the young designers' achievements are being shown. This time it brought together 56 teams from schools and pre-schools of the regional center.
Gulsum Kozhakhmetova, the head of the Karaganda Education Department, started the festival. She congratulated everybody on the upcoming Independence Day, noting that thanks to this holiday there was an opportunity to organize such useful and interesting events. She thanked the staff of the gymnasium No. 39, which for the second time opened its doors for the young searchers. By the way, this time the teams of preschoolers will get more and it is also a proof that the festival is gaining momentum and popularity.
While kids learn to manage a programmable mouse, they already acquire basic knowledge of programming along with reading skills. Zakhar from kindergarten "Tolagay" easily presses the right set of keys to the robot to get to the cards with letters and collect the words "mouse" and "cheese".
Older robot technicians are busy solving pressing problems.
- If last year the main part of the projects was represented by 3D-printer models, in 2019 the festival impressed with an abundance of interesting developments that can be widely used in practice," says Alexey Ananyev, the head of the information and analytical department of City Department of Education.
A lift for people with disabilities and a playground for disabled children, a garbage-sorting unit, drawing devices are among them.
Robot sorting garbage was presented at the festival by schoolchildren of the 7th grade Akhmet and Yelaman from school №16. The guys admitted that the teacher helped them, but they did the main work, including programming, operating model and slide show, though guided by a mentor, they did it themselves.
In the future, they do not see themselves as engineers yet, as well as the team that invented the truck to clean the roads. The machine not only scrabble snow from the roadway, but also pours a solution of potassium acetyl i.e. a non-toxic mixture that prevents icing of the roads. By the way, the engine of the machine also runs on chemical fuel. Hence, the passion for robotics contributes to the mastery of other school disciplines.
The guys demonstrated their inventions to the competent jury of the City Department of Education and teachers of technical disciplines. Arbitrators presented many ideas, showing sincere interest in the project.
Teachers and coaches attended a workshop on IT-technologies and filled out questionnaires at KiberOne School. Children aged 6 to 14 years old are taught to program, blog and generally work with multimedia. The aim of KiberOne is to provide early career guidance, first of all, by changing the attitude towards devices not as a toy for fun, but as a useful tool for a successful future. Moreover, on the makeathone, the guys were shown how to create their own blog, how to draw a cartoon with a moving figure on the basis of Meinkraft.
An exhibition of robotic products was holding all three hours of makeathone on the second floor of the gymnasium.
Following the results of Makeathone, the authors of the most useful and unusual projects received cups and diplomas, and their heads received letters of thanks from the Department of Education of Karaganda.
At the Roboland-2019 festival appeared a new competitive category ROBOLAND-FRIENDSHIP. The competition is absolutely unique! It allows you to look at the process of rivalry and becoming a winner from a new perspective.
“FRIENDSHIP is help, support, cooperation, empathy, loyalty, honesty, and more. In the ROBOLAND-FRIENDSHIP category, only the one who unites, agrees and will manifest human qualities in relation to rivals and representatives of his team can win” , - the initiators of the category explain.
The competition consists of three stages.
At the first stage, the participants represent their team. Then prepare a presentation (video, slide show, etc.), in which they share a real friendship story. This is not necessarily the friendship of people. For example, there may be a story of friendship between man and animal.
At the second stage it is necessary to introduce a robot that will help people. The most daring ideas and fantasies are welcome. After all, you can draw an analogy between the fabulous items and modern gadgets: carpet-plane - quadrocopter; tangle of road pointing - GPS-navigator; golden saucer and apple saucer - cameras, Skype, social networks, etc.
At the third stage, the teams need to unite with each other to pass the baton. The result depends on the ability to negotiate and establish partnerships.
The V International Festival of Robotics, Programming and Innovative Technologies "ROBOLAND 2019" will be held in Karaganda on March 29-30 at the sports complex "Zhastar".
In Kazakhstan, in aid of teachers of robotics and lovers of technical creativity, had been released a collection of three textbooks. These books contain lessons on Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
The author is a Russian software engineer, project developer in the field of robotics and electronics – Viktor Petin. The books were published on the order of the Karaganda company – Basic Store LLP, which supplies educational equipment to educational institutions throughout the country.
The collection is unique. Each lesson is a complete project – the reader gets a consistent solution. Acquired knowledge will become the basis for further development and creation of own robotic projects.
Today, robots are rapidly advancing in all spheres of human life, the publication initiators say. In these conditions, highly qualified engineers need to be prepared from school. Kazakhstan does not lag behind global processes: educational robotics is developing in schools and at an additional level, and children's interest in this type of creativity is growing.
Russian specialists conducted an enhanced training course on robotics “Arduino. Internet of Things” in Karaganda. The training was organized by the Education Department of Karaganda region and the Training and Methodological Center with the support of the Kazdidac Association and the Basis Store
Qualified professionals were invited to conduct the classes. A software engineer Viktor Petin from Pyatigorsk wrote about a dozen books on robotics. He specializes in such topics as Arduino and smart home. A teacher from Tomsk Pavel Pugachyov works at the Physico-Technical Lyceum. He trains teams for international competitions in robotics that become winners.
“The course is aimed at training trainers in Arduino. We selected a group of 30 people from among those who have already been trained. They are teachers of schools, colleges and organizations of additional education,” said Yesbol Arinov, deputy director for innovative forms of education and e-education at the Training and Methodological Center.
Arduino is planned to be made a mandatory subject for high school students in school robotics laboratories. Sets of equipment are currently being purchased.
“Our task is to provide teaching methods so that the attendees can work with school students in the future. We started with a basic level, introduction to the Arduino microcontroller and how to choose the right program. Then we moved to an in-depth level, preparation for competitions involving robots controlled by Arduino, creating IoT devices,” the teachers explained.
The attendees received certificates upon completion of the course. New knowledge will help them in working with children.
“The most important thing is that we received the right direction. We now know what to start from and where to go further on our own. We will be able to give more interesting material to our students,” shared Irina Shiyenko, head of the scientific and technical creativity department of the Children's and Youth Center of Shakhtinsk.
“This course can be compared with an open door to a great future. It is very useful, especially the Internet of Things. We were given the opportunity to create together with our students. We will start with the basics, and then ideas for an interesting project will appear,” said Nadezhda Vasiliadi, a teacher of secondary school No. 32 of Karaganda.
